Aloha Suckas!!!

Okay, so that was rude....sorry!! Aloha, and Mahalo for being my friend and reading my blog while I am enjoying the peace and quiet and serenity and amazing weather and beautiful smells and lovely trade winds and.....well, I guess I should stop, I wouldn't want to rub it in.

Our trip to the islands was not without drama. Our plane left the gate only to have to be turned around and returned to it because of a woman in the back of the plane who got very sick all over several seats and herself. They had to remove her and her bio hazardous mess from the plane before we could get back out on the runway.

Then, because it wasn't interesting enough yet. A woman sitting next to us was letting her massive intoxication show, much to the irritation of the man in the seat in front of her. The man sitting beside her however was quite happy with the situation because she was being very flirty with him and I am pretty sure he was thinking there was a chance he was going to get a little up in the air action. He was not at all happy when the man in front of him complained to the flight attendant about the obnoxious drunk lady. After some discussion with the airline people, it was decided that she would be allowed to fly IF she could keep to herself and IF she would not drink at all on the plane (darn those two glasses of cheap champagne she had already downed before we left the gate). After that the plane ride just lost some of it's fun factor.

So....after all the drama, we finally got out of sunny California and on our way to sunny Hawaii.

My very sweet husband walked off of the plane and walked straight over to a lei stand to buy me a lei. Remember all those shows you saw as a kid where people would arrive in Hawaii and Hula dancers would put a lei around their neck? Well, it doesn't happen that way.....unless you have a sweet husband who rushes over and buys one for you so that you get the full effect of smelling the amazing plumeria as you walk through the airport.

And no, of course the lei isn't shaped like a heart, but laying it on the desk like that made for a cuter picture...until I couldn't figure out how to turn it sideways so that you could see it without having to turn your head sideways. Sorry for the crick in your neck!

We were exhausted by the time we got to the hotel.....but to wake up to this......

well, it made all the vomit, the drunk fest and fear of seeing a public sex act worth it.

Aloha!
